75 N.Y.S. 845 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1902
This action is upon a promissory note made by the defendant in favor of the intestate of the plaintiffs. The defendant admitted the making and delivery of the note, the non-payment thereof and the status of the plaintiffs. He denied that the note was given for value or that the intestate ever gave any consideration therefor. His counterclaim was withdrawn because the subject thereof had been embodied in a claim filed against the estate. The plaintiffs read the note in evidence and rested, and thereupon the defendants offered certain testimony. The learned court gave judgment for the defendant, dismissing the complaint on the merits. The instrument imported consideration. (Neg. Inst. Law [Laws of 1897, chap. 612] § 50 ; Hegeman v. Moon, 131 N. Y. 462, 467.) When
All concurred.
Judgment of the Municipal Court reversed and new trial ordered, costs to abide the event.
